I guess I should go to bed now.
This is me, about 30 seconds ago, with my Nameless Bear - or should I call him [redacted]?? ha. - from Pottery Barn for Kids. (Remember, I got a matching bear for Meghan on her birthday?)
I’m wearing no makeup (actually, I’m wearing a thin layer of zit cream. To be totally honest.) I’m going to try to let you see me more and more without makeup, but it’s a little tough, because I generally look like total shit without it, especially since my skin is usually a mess from stress, lack of sleep, too much sugar, malevolent genes, whatever.
But I’ve been using these Sumaxin pads that Dr. Bobby gave me when I saw him a few weeks ago - and, for the first time in YEARS, my skin has finally, finally, FINALLY cleared up. The active ingredient in these pads, as I understand it, is sulfur, which I know (from a cursory google search) is an ancient remedy for acne. In any case, it effing worked, and I cannot begin to tell you how unbelievably relieved I am. Anyone who’s ever suffered from bad skin knows it’s a confidence wrecker, and sometimes you don’t even want to leave your apartment. Yeah, I know, I know - a bit over dramatic - but that’s how I felt many, many times over the past few years.
So. Hopefully I can start to reduce my dependence on makeup now. Although I wouldn’t count on me going au natural to an event or on air a la Miss Meghan anytime soon. Some habits are better left unbroken. ;)
